FOUNTAIN sYRi-ien Warne BAG.

Application-.filed July 5, 195.28.y Serial No. 239,568.k

My invention relates to water bags oivfounfilling such bags since-the user must hold the bag open by grasping the neck and squeezing the sides together and thus hold the bag in one hand while filling itWith the other. As the bag i'ills and gets heavier it frequently slips out oi the hand, spilling the contents and making a mess generally.

My invention therefore has for its principal object to provide a simple, cheap and e'liective means, always present, by which the bags mouth may be held open, thus enabling the user to hold the bag by grasping the tab with one hand While filling the bair with the other. This makes it easier to lill the bag Without spilling as well as effecting a savingy ot time in the filling operation.

Further, it is an object to provide an attachment tor syringe Watery bags which will always be ready .tor use and which Will not mar or injure the bagor add materially to its cost ot manufacture.

Other objects will in part be obvious and in part be pointed out hereinafter.

lo the kattainment. of the aforesaid objects 'and ends, my invention consists in the novel details of construction and in the combination, connection and arrangement of parts, hereinafter more t'ully described and then pointed out in the claims.

ln the drawing: i f

Figure 1 is a' perspective view ot' a fountain syringe water bag with my invention applied, looking at the front. 1

Figure 2 is a similar vieiv taken from the back.

Figui-e is an enlarged perspective vie-vv ot the upper portion oi? the mouth of the bag with my invention applied in use. Figure at is a plan view of Figure 3. y

Figure 5 is a detail vieuI of the rigid inem,- bei' per se.

Figure C is a detail sectional View of the rigid member. y

Figure 7 is a detail sectional view oit one of the buttonmembers showingdetails of construction. c

In the drawing in which like numerals of `reference indicate like partsin ally ofthe figures, l represents the Water bag Whose neck 2 has theusual rei'niiorcedfbead 5 atthe rim'of its mouth 4. The neck is also provided with y the usual holding tab 8.

.Vhen my invention is usedthe bagivill be provided ivitli a button 6 secured vto the front f portion of the neck, preferably about one- 'lf'ourth the distancetroin a side, While a second button 6 is correspondingly located on the back Wall oitthe neck. These buttons may be Wholly of rubber, 'or they may be composed oie. metal or metal encased in rubber. lVlien the latter type of button is used the button may havea shank 8,`a back head 7 and a covering 10. `7Vliere the button is secured to the bag it will be suitably reinforced at 9 to prevent breakage or tearing of the bag.

.In carrying out my invention there is also provided a rigid niei'nber l1, siinilarto a garter slide, the larger-'end of whichr hasa hole 141; by means of which it may permanently be sivivelled on one of the button Shanks.

The member il has an elongated slot, that end 15 adjacent the hole le.' being of a suliicient diameter to pass the other buttons head through the slot. The slot tapers from the larger end l5 toward the other end of the member to a diameter at ri6 approxin'iately that oit thebuttons shank.` yThe member 1l may be Wholly ot metal or metal l2 encased in rubber 18,01 other suitable non-corrosive substances. f .y y

Normally the member l1 lies "flat, against the kbag but Whenit is "desired to lill therbag the button onV the ii'ontlis passed into the opening l5 and brought to the end 16.k This causes.the'ineinber 11 tok press inthe adjacent i side of the neck and 'holdthe bags mouth open as shownin Figure From the foregoing description, taken in connection with the accompanying drawing,y

construction, vcombination and arrangement y of parts may be made Without departing from the spirit oi the invention or the scope of thek appended claims. i

What I claim is g.
